Good Land

"Do what is right and good in the Lord’s sight, so that it may go well with you and you may go in and take over the good land"  Deuteronomy 6:18

Willing spirit

"Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me." Psalm 51:10-12
Restore me to joy. With a willing spirit. I need to work on my willing spirit. God's is willing. Mine needs work.

Restored

Help comes

" I lift up my eyes to the mountains where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip he who watches over you will not slumber; ...The Lord watches over you, the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm, he will watch over your life; "
Psalm 121:1-7
Help is there. Realized or not. God is there. Watching each step. Protecting.

God is with you

"Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the Lord will be with you."
2 Chronicles 20:17
Each day God is with me. Bad days. Where there is fear. Discouragement. Do I remember he is there on good days? Be grateful.

Feel safe God is watching over us. One by one.

Light to our eyes

But now, for a brief moment, the Lord our God has been gracious in leaving us a remnant and giving us a firm place in his sanctuary, and so our God gives light to our eyes" Ezra 9:8
A remnant. Brief moments of brightness give light to our eyes. A hug. A smile. Family. Friends. Graciously accept. Graciously give.

Reassurance

"Although the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, your teachers will be hidden no more; with your own eyes you will see them. Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, "This is the way; walk in it." Isaiah 30:20-21
Moving. It creates chaos, exhaustion, adversity, . Every way I turn there are waters of affliction. Even tears. To my right or left God was and is there. Reassuring me.  "This is the way; walk in it."
